Two cards are drawn, one after the other, from a well-shuffed, standard deck of playing cards. The first card is not returned to the deck after it has been drawn. Use equation (9.4) to determine the probability of selecting a diamond eard in both draws.

Key Concepts

Sampling without Replacement

Sampling without replacement is the process of drawing items from a set where each item is not returned after being selected. This affects the probability of subsequent events because the total number of items decreases after each draw, making the events dependent on each other.

Probability Theory

Probability theory is the branch of mathematics that deals with quantifying the likelihood of events occurring. It provides a framework for calculating how likely events are by using mathematical models and principles, which is essential for understanding random processes such as card draws.

Conditional Probability

Conditional probability refers to the likelihood of an event happening given that another event has already occurred. This concept is crucial in situations like drawing cards from a deck without replacement, where the outcome of the first draw influences the probabilities associated with the second draw.

Multiplication Rule for Dependent Events

The multiplication rule for dependent events states that the probability of two events both occurring is the product of the probability of the first event and the conditional probability of the second event given that the first has occurred. This rule is used to calculate joint probabilities in scenarios where events are not independent.
